Eye on the Tiber...?

Risin upBack on the roadDid my time in the pigstyTraveled the distance, heavy sins were my loadA prodigal with a will to survive

So many timesIt happens too fastTrade your religion for vaingloryDon't lose your faith for "other food" served up fastYou must fight just to keep it alive

Got my eye on the TiberWhere the ray of the LightRises up to the challenge of Her rivalsShe's the Church Jesus gave us and she'll always surviveAnd she's watching for us down the road'cross the Tiber

Face of disgraceOut in the heatI've had enoughOf stayin' hungryBackpack of sins I will take to the streetFor a wing and a prayer to survive

Got my eye on the TiberAnd the ray of pure LightRisin' up to the challenge of Her rivalsShe's the Church Jesus gave us and she's shining so brightAnd she wants all of us to come Home,'cross the Tiber

Risin' upOut of the slopGoing Home to my MotherI went the distance now I'm not gonna stopA prodigal with some hope to survive

Got my eye on the TiberWhere the Dome shines so brightRising up to the challenge of Her rivalsShe's the Church Jesus gave us, a bright beam in the nightAnd she's watching for us to come Home,'cross the TiberEye on the Tiber...Eye on the Tiber...Eye on the Tiber...

Man, I wish I could be paid for writing up parodies. Is there ANY money to be made doing this??? Anyone??? Ferris???

About Me

I returned to the "First Pre-denominational Church of Christ," (as my husband brilliantly 'dubbed' it) aka: the Catholic Church in Dec. 2004, after my husband told me he wanted to go back to the "faith of his youth." The decision to swim across the Tiber has cost dearly, but has been worth it all! AND we are new grandparents of twin boys this summer, 2010!
